What type of speech is protected under the first amendment?

The first amendment prohibits congress from passing a law regulating speech. The prohibition is on congress, not on anyone else. Thus, your speech is not protected. If you use your speech to incite a riot, to lead a rebellion, or to slander someone, you can suffer the consequences. Still, your act must be illegal. Your slander must be a lie. You do not commit slander if what you say is true. If you yell fire and the building is not burning and you cause a stampede, you have committed a crime.
